No, she's a stupid teen, but really a kiddie diddler?

What would she be if she were an 18 year old guy? Be honest.

A stupid teen, really and I am being honest.

When does the adult age start to you?

Well truthfully when you start acting like one, but using that some people would never be adults. So well in this case they were in the same school. The older girl hadn't graduated so really no she wasn't an adult but I'm not proposing legislation here just saying. I don't know really it sounds like the younger girl freaked when rumors got started and helped turn evidence on here older girl twirl. And now is in a world of shiat even worse. There is no good answer here if you see what I mean.

When the two wouldn't meet under normal circumstances or the person is an authority figure, eg: a freshman in college and a freshman in HS wouldn't meet and share the same social circles, a substitute teacher and a junior in HS would violate the authority portion. Obviously there are edge cases that would be exceptions which I have partially addressed.

Law doesn't work that way though, does is it? At any rate, 14 years old should tell you that this person isn't old enough to understand what she is doing with anyone 18 or above in a sexual relationship. It doesn't matter if the relationship is hetero or homo sexual in nature. The fact the 18 year old is playing the homosexual card shouldn't matter.

Again with homo/hetero shiat. I am not arguing that. I am not arguing that what she did is legal. My argument is that it should be legal and the law can work that way. I promise you, we have the capabilities to write intelligent laws.

How so? Your conditions were a) Wouldn't meet under normal circumstances, being a neighbor is a normal one more so than only knowing each other because of a particular sport or because the other is a girl genious and b) an authority figure, which I am not. I am just the friend of the parents.

A stupid teen who probably wouldn't have been prosecuted, or seriously investigated, unless the "victim's" parents were cops, politicians, rich, or knew one of the above groups?

Well if the parent's disapprove they can mess you up. That said, I actually knew of a 13 yr old that was going to marry a 30 yr old man when she turned 14 and well that was the earliest they could marry with her parents consent./Yea I thought that was farked up.

tinfoil-hat maggie:redslippers: doglover: hardinparamedic: FTFA: By accepting the plea deal, Hunt would have been placed on house arrest for two years.

House arrest for two years, no felony conviction, and no requirement to register as a sex offender? I understand the want to fight for a statement, but I have to say that in that position, I might just take the deal.

And that's why almost all our current DAs should be shot into the sun.

Our legal system is so farked up pleading guilty to something that is only illegal because lawmakers are farking retarded is better and cheaper than being innocent of wrong doing.

FARK THAT. We need to fix this system so plea deals and settlements are never the best option.

Only she's not innocent of wrongdoing. She was having sex with a very underage girl, was warned more than once, then convinced the kid to run away for a night of hot lesbian love. The plea was a gift.

Well, that's for a jury to decide now. Oh and I got arrested in my bed at home for being a runaway when I was 16 so well. Oh and it was cause I left the house the night before for hot lesbian sex without permission : )/Crazy times

If it's wrong for a male 18+ years old to have sex with 14 year old girls, it's wrong for a woman of 18+ years old to have sex with a 14 year old girl. You don't get an exception because you use your tongue instead of a peener.

Brostorm:doglover: redslippers: She was having sex with a very underage girl

Not under any sane legal system.

ok "doglover" sane is subjective.

When something is perfectly legal the year before, it shouldn't magically become illegal the next year just because some subjective age limit was reached. That's why most places have a close age exception if they have age of consent laws.

/ok, I think maybe it's just the meds?//or I just have a ten year old's sense of humor..

Not as bad as the doc I encountered with an e-mail of kum.

redslippers: And an older person, boy or girl, who is a legal adult, should have no interest in a fourteen year old. The vast majority of these situations are predatory. There is a grossly uneven power dynamic between the parties and the younger is at a significant disadvantage. The law recognizes this, and the law is there because society recognizes this.

Usually there is a power problem. However, these two were peers because the younger one was well above her grade level.

Tommy Moo: I don't know. The problem with the law is that there's no grey area, but in the real world there is. There are age gaps where it starts to get kinda creepy and maybe sorta inappropriate, but to the law, you are either guilty as sin or pure as the driven snow. Over 20 with a 14 year old and I'd say lock her up, and I'd dare anyone to try to make it about homophobia. But at the same time, if this was 17/14 I don't think anyone would care. The power balance in their relationship didn't suddenly, dramatically shift on the day this girl turned 18.

THIS.

I think what she did was wrong but I don't think it warrants anything like the punishment the law dictates.

redslippers: They were not "part of the same peer group". How much time have you spent around teenagers lately? How much time immersed in a high school? It is scandalous for a senior to date a freshman. These girls were not buddies all along, they JUST MET. Seniors and freshmen do not share classes, they do not haunt the same social circles, they are not "peers". Seniors and Juniors, that argument holds valid. Juniors and sophomores, there is overlap. Sophomores and freshmen, some overlap. And there is the occasional senior dating an older sophomore.

A 14 year old on the same team as an 18 year old. Not to mention the 14 year old was in some classes well above her grade level.

As a freshman I had a class in which everyone else was a junior or senior. As a sophomore I was taking two classes at the community college.

bigwf2007: I'd say jury nullification is her only hope. I can see maybe convincing one or two jurors that this really is all about her being a lesbian and not about her being an adult molesting a 14-year-old. But I just can't see her convincing an entire jury, even in Florida, to overlook both the law and the facts of the case.

All it takes is one to hang the jury. It also isn't just a matter of overlooking the facts--I would probably vote not guilty because I feel the law dictates a punishment that's far too harsh for what she did.

My kindergartner is learning her multiplication tables. That doesn't put her on par with third graders. My 14 year old is taking college level literature and history. That doesn't put her on par with college kids. My 17 year old is about to finish her BS. That doesn't mean she's ready to play with the big boys.

There is a hell of a lot more to development than curriculum. And nowhere have I seen it stated that the 14 year old was taking senior classes.

Well as I said crazy times, she was a fun girl but equally crazy and I regret the day I met her but well, we stayed off and on for about 4 years.

doglover:Brostorm: doglover: redslippers: She was having sex with a very underage girl

Not under any sane legal system.

ok "doglover" sane is subjective.

When something is perfectly legal the year before, it shouldn't magically become illegal the next year just because some subjective age limit was reached. That's why most places have a close age exception if they have age of consent laws.

So, how young is too young? Fourteen is awfully young, and I I find your use of "sane" quite odd. So, should it be 13? 12? 11?

A LOT of 14 year old girls haven't even started their menstrual cycles yet. Think about that.

- a guy who turns 19 tomorrow- a girl who turned 14 yesterday- they have sex today

Is this OK?

Yes. Because you are not the morality police and arbitrary laws controlling "minors" as property of their parents are stupid. Alcohol and voting laws based on age are just as irrational. I don't see how a person emerges from the chrysalis of irresponsible child to responsible adult during the 60 seconds between 17 years, 364 days 23 hours 59 minutes and 18 years 0 days 0 minutes. Some 14 year olds are older mentally than some 20 year olds. Base the laws around cognizance, even if it is harder.

tinfoil-hat maggie:OgreMagi: tinfoil-hat maggie: redslippers: doglover: hardinparamedic: FTFA: By accepting the plea deal, Hunt would have been placed on house arrest for two years.

House arrest for two years, no felony conviction, and no requirement to register as a sex offender? I understand the want to fight for a statement, but I have to say that in that position, I might just take the deal.

And that's why almost all our current DAs should be shot into the sun.

Our legal system is so farked up pleading guilty to something that is only illegal because lawmakers are farking retarded is better and cheaper than being innocent of wrong doing.

FARK THAT. We need to fix this system so plea deals and settlements are never the best option.

Only she's not innocent of wrongdoing. She was having sex with a very underage girl, was warned more than once, then convinced the kid to run away for a night of hot lesbian love. The plea was a gift.

Well, that's for a jury to decide now. Oh and I got arrested in my bed at home for being a runaway when I was 16 so well. Oh and it was cause I left the house the night before for hot lesbian sex without permission : )/Crazy times

I don't think this can be repeated too often....

Go on.

Crazy in the head, crazy in the bed. That's probably why I keep ending up with crazy girlfriends.

redslippers:There is a hell of a lot more to development than curriculum. And nowhere have I seen it stated that the 14 year old was taking senior classes.

There was one article (the one that mentioned the sports thing that said the younger girl was taking "IR" classes, I don't know what that is but it mentioned they had classes together./No idea and still not saying it's right.

Amazing isn't it, how many Farkers are all for kids getting sexually exploited.

Ah, I see now why you're not allowed within a hundred feet of the local playground now.
